Carrot Salad

One of my regular requests from readers is for side dish recipes, which often can be an after-thought when planning a meal. We sometimes plan out main dishes to make and then at the 11th hour, or the 5 o’clock hour, we realize something else is needed. If you are looking for an easy and quick summer side, perhaps this will fit the need.

G loves carrots and would happily eat them every day. His love of carrots inspired this quick carrot dish, based on something I tasted at a local restaurant last month. I switched out the raisins with dried cranberries and came up with a simple dressing to pull it all together. G was a fan and now he has a new way to eat them!
